Mere bhai , MIG-29 has lost EVERY air engagement against the 'teen series'. Mind you Saddam had AWACs too. Mig-29 is yet to shoot down its first teen series.
Mig-35 is just another Russian junk with large size, TVC and flashy touch screens. They are good in aerodynamics, but have pathetic mission processing, ECM, situational awareness capabilities. Not to forget that the Russian A2A missiles have not all been that successful. The weapons are inferior so are the tactics.
For WVR combat, F-16s are equipped with JHMCS, worlds fastest mission processors, highly advance sensors which build a great situational awareness picture for the pilot.
Its AIM-9M/X have look down shoot down capability with very high angles of off bore sighting.
Aerodynamically, F-16s have relaxstability aerodynamics and they don't bleed as much energy as the Migs in 'sustained ACM'.
F-16 seats are placed at an angle that reduce G loads. Added with a bubble canopy the pilots say that they feel as if they have grown wings...they feel as part of the F-16 with its all round visibility.
F-16s have nailed almost every air craft in its Generation in simulated combat....it all depends on the 'pilot'.
